Question

I have tried to implement this scenario. I have created Code First model, then generated database sql from model, and have created manual migrations via MigSharp. After that i have added code to OnModelCreating to update mappings.

protected  void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
  modelBuilder.Entity<Product>().ToTable("dfg_Product");
  modelBuilder.Entity<Customer>().ToTable("dfg_Customer");
}

Problem is that DbContext still trying to get data from default mappings “dbo.Product | dbo.Customer” and I need to change mappings to “dbo.dfg_Product | dbo.dfg_Customer”.
I have tried to debug but code in OnModelCreating does not invoked.

Please help, what I am doing wrong?

EDIT: Added connection string

<add name="DataModelContainer" connectionString="metadata=res://*/DataModel.csdl|res://*/DataModel.ssdl|res://*/‌​DataModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;data source=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;initial catalog=TestDB;integrated security=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

Problem was solved by changing connection string to:

<add name="DataModelContainer" connectionString="Data Source=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TestDB;integrated security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

Answer 1

If you executed your application before and your model remains the same, the database is already there and OnModelCreating() will not get called.

You can use Database.SetInitializer()

static void Main(string[] args)
{
     Database.SetInitializer(
            new DropCreateDatabaseIfModelChanges<YourContext>());
     //or
     Database.SetInitializer(
            new DropCreateDatabaseAlways<YourContext>());
     //your code
}

Also i noticed you’re using FluentAPI and i want to point you can also use attributes for mappings:

[Table("dfg_Product")]
public class Product

Hope it helps.

EDIT:

You are using

modelBuilder.Entity<Product>().ToTable("dfg_Product");

and this is why it created dbo.Product.
Use

modelBuilder.Entity<Product>().MapSingleType().ToTable("dfg_Product");

and please use DropCreateDatabaseAlways() so you’ll get a new database with correct mappings.

EDIT 2

You don’t need metadata information in the connection string when developing a Code First application so your connection string should look like this:

<add name="DataModelContainer" connectionString="Data Source=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TestDB;integrated security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
